Comment on Wildlife cam setups?

If it is onvif compatible or similar sure, but it’s most likely not. If you’re lucky someone else have had the same camera as you and made a custom firmware for it, but I wouldn’t count on it.
Frigate and shinobi are two alternatives to use software wise on the server, but you still need a compatible camera.

I borrowed a camera - it’s not the one I would be using for this.
That’s why I’m asking. I haven’t bought anything yet and don’t want to get the wrong thing.

Get a CCTV camera for it. Make sure it supports ONVIF. An IP camera can be run 100 meters on CAT5.
Trail cams are not intended for remote viewing. They are battery powered and a remote connection would drain the batteries quickly.

That essentially boils down to “build your own solution”, which under my current circumstances amounts to “don’t do it”. Not that I lack the skill or will but the spare time and energy I have is used on my baby daughter. I can’t justify rabbit holing on something like this.
It’s why I created this thread - to see if there’s a software and hardware combo that solves this with minimal additional work.
